Assembling sealant containing twist-on wire connectors |
摘要 |
An improved method of making sealant containing twist-on wire connectors from a batch of components, wherein some of the components may be preassembled through automated equipment and at least one or more of the steps performed in the making of a sealant containing twist-on wire connector is performed manually at a station where an operator can simultaneously perform one or more steps to enhance the formation of a twist-on wire connector containing a sealant while at the same time eliminating upfront investments costs for a work station as well as costs for maintenance of a work station. |

1. A method of hand assembly of a sealant containing twist-on wire connector at a human station by a human without the assistance of a machine for handling the twist-on wire connector comprising the steps of:
placing a bin of conventional twist-on wire connectors in a location proximate the human station with the human having a first hand with a thumb and fingers for grasping a hand held sealant injector; grasping and holding at least a one of the twist-on wire connectors from the bin of twist-on wire connectors between the thumb and fingers of a further hand of the human at the human station; injecting a sealant into a cavity of a coil in the twist-on wire connector held with the further hand while the first hand holds the hand held sealant injector to form a sealant containing twist-on wire connector at the human station; visually inspecting the sealant containing twist-on wire connector on-the-go at the human station with the human visually determining if the proper amount of sealant is in the sealant containing twist-on wire connector; and using the further hand to place the sealant containing twist-on wire connector in a recycling bin at the human station if the sealant containing twist-on wire connector does not contain a proper amount of sealant or to place a twist-on wire connector containing the proper amount of sealant in a shipping bin based on a human visual inspection of the sealant containing wire connector at the human station. |
